For today’s prompt, write a reason poem. If this prompt seems unreasonable, just remember all the reasons you write poetry or enjoy cooking, dancing, singing, etc. Or provide a reasoned argument for your lack of reason. Only you know your reasons. — Robert Lee Brewer, Writer’s Digest
It’s also National Haiku Poetry Day, so haikus it is! I went to yoga today, so my first one covers some of the reasons I practice yoga.
Yoga makes me feel
strong peaceful balanced content
not confused or sad
poetry takes my
thoughts out of my spinning mind,
puts them in order
I remember you
a hundred times every day.
Doesn’t bring you back
much of what I do
the reason is just to feel
I’m doing something
I bake bread because
it tastes so good and makes my
house smell delicious
(I feel like that one really required no explanation!)
